Purpose

Maine School Author Visit Grants are intended to help PreK-12 schools host authors who will share writing processes, story development and research experiences, while inspiring students to read, write and/or illustrate.  

    Grant History

The Author Visit Grant was previously managed from 2016 - 2020 by the Onion Foundation. As of June 2021 the Author Visit Grant became a stand-alone grant, separate from the foundation. The grant is now housed with the Maine Literacy Fund.
